British police stationed armed officers outside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Friday following tweets from WikiLeaks that Julian Assange could be evicted from the building within “hours to days.”The exact status of Assange remained unclear though, with some Ecuadorian officials saying there has been no decision on the WikiLeaks founder’s future at the embassy. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt insisted Assange is a “free man” and is allowed to leave the embassy at any time, but many fear that once Assange steps foot outside the building, he will be detained by the authorities. “BREAKING: A high level source within the Ecuadorian state has told @WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within 'hours to days' using the #INAPapers offshore scandal as a pretext--and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest," WikiLeaks tweeted. Assange has been in the embassy since August 2012 for the fear of being extradited to the U.S. for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables through WikiLeaks.
